Another Southern Baptist Christian Leader Falls prey to the Doctrines of Demons
Ed Decker



Pastor Steven G. Tiner, Senior Pastor of Levy Baptist Church

http://www.levybaptist.com/

in North Little Rock, AR now boasts his calling as



Most Excellent Grand High Priest

Grand Chapter

Royal Arch Masons

Of Arkansas



In his acceptance remarks following his Masonic ordination, Pastor Tiner proclaimed



I want to thank the Grand Chapter of

Arkansas for the incredible privilege of serving

as your Grand High Priest. I love Royal Arch

Masonry with all of my heart. Therefore, to be

honored to serve as your Grand High Priest is

a joy beyond what I can ever express with

words. I pray that the Great Architect of the

Universe will bless this year as we work

together for the advancement of the Craft.

http://www.yorkrite.org/ar/ARRAinsert.pdf



Levy Baptist Church is associated with the Southern Baptist Convention, The Arkansas Baptist State Convention and The North Pulaski Baptist Association, where Pastor Tiner sits as Moderator, heading up its associational leadership. http://www.northpulaskibaptist.com/

Pastor Tiner has also bowed his knee at the altar of a false god and has given himself over to the doctrines of demons. These are the doctrines he pledges to advance for the cause of the craft.

Let me tell you about a few things he brags about above. First, there is only one high priest. That is Jesus Christ. Pastor Tiner and his Masonic friends have usurped the holy priesthood of our Lord.



Second, He speaks of Prayers to and for The Grand Architect of the Universe. In this Royal Arch Degree, the true nature of this Grand architect is revealed, so this demonic deity of theirs can be fully worshipped. As their Most Excellent High Priest, Pastor Tiner presides over such worship.



Masonic ritual is concerned with the recovery of the "Lost Word," presumed to be the name of God- supposedly lost through the murder of the architect,

Hiram Abiff, during the building of Solomon's Temple.This quest is attained during the ritual of the ROYALARCH DEGREE.



It is here that the SECRET NAME of the DEITY OF MASONRY is revealed. That name is "JAHBULON." "JAH" is the short form of the Hebrew name of God, "Yahweh," or "Jehovah." "BUL" is a rendering of the name, BAAL. "ON" is the term used in the Babylonian mysteries to call upon the deity, "OSIRIS"! The secret ritual book of the Craft prints the letters J.B.O. It states that: "We three do meet and agree-in peace, love and

unity-the Sacred Word to keep-and never to divulge the same-until we three, or three such as we-do meet and agree." Thus, no Royal Arch Mason can pronounce the whole sacred name by himself.



Therefore, what you see represented as the god of Freemasonry is a three-headed monster so remote from the Christian Trinity and so blasphemous as to damn the eternal soul of anyone who would dare to pronounce its name in a ritual of worship. See:



http://www.saintsalive.com/resourcelibrary/freemasonry/jah-bul-on-the-pagan-god-of-freemasonry



This is especially true if the one who presides over worship of this demon is also a Christian leader and Senior Pastor of a Christian Church.



How can the Holy Spirit of God be present in such a church where the Senior Pastor is kneeling at an altar before such a three-headed deity as JaoBulOn?



He can't. It is pure evil and while he may leave his holy high priest robes at home, he brings that same demonic spirit to the pulpit every time he peaches.



He has broken the very first Commandment of God and gone after other gods, raised pagan altars and served this Grand Architect of the Universe.



JaoBulOn never designed any part of this Universe. It was done by the hand of a Holy God who calls such worship the works of evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, Jer 13:10



God calls evil what Pastor Tiner is doing and at whose altar he is bowing his knee. It is not just those in the Royal Arch who bow their knee with this man of God who has turned from his Master, but it is a curse that falls hard upon Levy Baptist Church and its people, young and old, the ones he is leading into a spiritual pit, as well.



For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. Isa 9:16-17



This is not a new story with the Southern Baptist Churches.. It has been going on within the ranks for a long time. Read: http://www.saintsalive.com/resourcelibrary/freemasonry/freemary-and-the-sbc-the-story-goes-on-and-onson





I have been told that Pastor Tiner belongs to the York Rite, which is identified as the Christian 'branch' of Freemasonry. Would that it were true.



It is as bloody as the rest, if not more so, because it tries to cloak its perversions in the mantle of the Christian faith.



First, the deep roots of Freemasonry are entwined within every branch of the craft and go through every level of paganism, cultic and occult practices, right into the depths of Luciferic rituals. No part of the system is exempt.

The York Rite is no different and those men within it who claim it is free from any non-Christian influence are either blind fools or lying through their teeth!



Let's look at the York Rite "Knights Templar" Degree. It is reported to have originally been established to preserve and protect the craft. The special garb worn in the degree consists an Apron, sash and cordon.



The center of the Apron displays a hand holding a severed head, dripping blood. On the flap is a hand holding a knife. Drops of red blood cover the white background.



The Sash is white with a yellow fringe. It is filled with gory, severed heads, arms and legs, mixed in with knives, crosses and crowns. The cordon , which goes around the neck, is dark satin with severed heads down the side and a small ceremonial sword as the breast ornament.



Along with these grotesque items is a human skull cut and pinned so that the top of the skull can be detached to use a drinking vessel for their Masonic Communion of the dead. And they call this the Christian Rite??



The paraphernalia of this ritual should be evidence enough that the York Rite is every bit as pagan as the Scottish Rite, but let me finish this up with a few excerpts from the rite, itself.



The obligation in this degree, called the Master's Nine Of Elect, is now given to the candidate in the usual form. While the candidate is kneeling at the altar, the companions all stand over him with raised poniards, as if about to stab him. Meanwhile a horrible, bloody head sits on the altar, facing him.



He swears this bloody oath:



"I do solemnly swear, in the presence of Almighty God, that I will revenge the assassination of our worthy Master, Hiram Abiff, not only on the murderers, but also on all who may betray the secrets of this degree; and furthermore, that I will keep and protect this Order with all my might, and the brethren, in general, with all my power, and furthermore, that I will obey the decrees of the Grand Council of Princes of Jerusalem;



and, if I violate my obligation, I consent to be struck with the dreadful poniard of vengeance, now presented to me, and to have my head cut off, and stuck on the highest pole, or pinnacle, in the eastern part of the world, as a monument of my villainy! Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen!"



The vows here are sealed with the Fifth Libation or The Sealed Obligation.



The candidate is given the human skull filled with wine, which he drinks after swearing that "the sins of the person whose skull this once was, be heaped upon my head, in addition to my own; and may appear in judgment against me, both here and hereafter, should I violate or transgress any obligation in Masonry, or the Orders of [this] knighthood..."



I am sorry, but any man who has sworn such oaths has so violated his Christian faith that I suspect he and all those over whom he has headship have been removed from that umbrella of Christ's protection.



Repent, Pastor Tiner, before God brings His hand of judgment against you and over all those who are under your headship.



God will not be mocked. Pastor Tiner, How can you partake of such bizarre, pagan, bloody rituals and have the audacity to stand in a pulpit and call yourself a Christian Pastor?



If I were a member of your church, I would run out the doors as though I was being chased by the demons of hell, because that is who has taken residence inside those doors.

Yes, the SBC years back use to hold to some solid teachings, yet as the years went by they've left those teachings to introduce the world into their churches.

Any one caught up in them that's a true Christians has only one command from God, "Come out from among them."

I know a man in my local church who said he was/is a mason. I've wanted to discuss that with him but the Spirit wasn't leading me. I would like to read something about witnessing to the masons.

Anyone have a book/pamphlet they would suggest?

In the talks I've had with Masons it seems most often they will simply deny anything ungodly and they will delcare their prayers to a "grand architect" and such is the same as them praying to the Christian God.

Some will acknowledge that a Mason is expected to be "religious" but they can choose their own religion, and most will say they are Christians and sometimes they will acknowledge that not all other Masons are Christians yet they won't admit they are yoking with non-Christians when they unite with them in Masonry.

Masonry teaches that Masons first and full loyalty goes to the Masons, first to the Lodge and then to all other Masons. They typically won't admit this places Masonry above Christ and His church. Of course it's easy for many to say and believe this when often the church they attend is full of Masons as well. I've known of Baptist churches that might as well been called Mason's Baptist Church.

Masons tend to be very loyal, even irrationally loyal, to Masonry. They tend to become defensive quickly. Of course, they are taught "outside forces" want to infiltrate and destroy them and they are taught to practice secrecy. They also intertwine their view of Christianity with Masonry to such a point they don't see and are unwilling to see how Masonry and Christianity are incompatable.

Masons, for the most part, believe they are among the enlightened, that they are above most others, and I believe this is part of the reason many try to turn attempts to reach them for Christ into some intellectual debate. For their part, after quickly becoming defensive they will often then give something they consider to be an irrefutable, "intellectual" argument at which point they are finished. The few who seem willing to have a discussion generally do so with the thought they are humoring us and that by their calm demeanor they will convince us there is nothing wrong with Masonry.

In the end, Masons tend to be a hard group to talk to as Masonry prepares its members for such encounters and teaches them to be crafty, defensive and to protect the secrets of Masonry.

I think that's a sign that they know there's something wrong with what they're doing and don't want to change. I know I get the most defensive when I already suspect that what I'm doing is wrong but don't want to give it up.

Your right, and when thinking about those who get defensive when confronted about sin, I think of John the Baptist's run in with Herod in Matthew 14. .

That is what happens whether the sin is adultery, Masonry, drinking alcohol, smoking pot, gambling, watching movies with a "little" nudity or whatever the pet sin is. Professing Christians don't want their life really changed by the Word of God and the lost want to pretend sin doesn't exist. Of course, for many professing Christians, as they seek to justify not allowing their lives to be changed by the Word they declare their sins to not be sin! "Masonry? Drinking alcohol? Gambling? Why they may be sin for some, but they certainly are not for me!" So do some sinners declare in rebellion to the Word of God.
